Be it known that I, ANTONIO Dn GIUSTI, citizen of Italy, residing at Trail, in the Province of British Columbia and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair IVavers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hair wavers of the type which are adapted to be attached l0 to the hair and worn for the necessary length of time to impart a wave to the hair7 the invention having for an object the provision of a novel ,hair waver of this type of simple and'inexpensive construction and provided with means for adjustment to vary the size of the individual waves imparted to the hair.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description, and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth. -5 Fig. 1 of the drawing is, a side view showing my improved hair Waver.

Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof, Fig. 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of 2. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line i-4t of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is an end View.

As here embodied my improved hair Waver comprises two main elements hinged together adjacent one end and adapted to be swung toward and away from one another, each of these elements comprising a number of parallel bars, the bars of respective elements being adapted to fit in between one another. One of said elements, which I may term the main element, comprises a number of fiat bars 1() which are rigidly united at one end by a crosspiece 11, the side ones of these bars being shown as extending beyond the crosspiece and united by another crosspiece 12 leaving a space 13 which accommodates the hub of the. other member. The other member comprises a number of bars 15 which as here shown are of V-shape in cross section and which fit between the bars 10. These bars 15 are all mounted on a common hub 16 which is located in the recess 13, the crosspiece 11 being formed with suitable slots or notches to accommodate these bars. At their free ends the bars 15 are united by a small 'crosspiece 19 which is accommodated in suitable slots such as 2O in the intermediate ones of the bars 1() when the device is folded.

In connection with my improved device I preferably provide means whereby the amount or degree to which the bars'15 enter between the bars 10, when the device is folded, may be varied. As here shown a cam 23 is mounted between one of the side bars 10 and the adjacent one., this cam being in the form of an'elliptical disk and being `fixed on a stud 241- to which is fined a. pointer 25 which may be brought into registry with a selected one ot a number of marks 26 ou the said side bar to vary the position of the cam, the latter' preferably maintaining its adjusted position through trictional engagement. 4

The hub 16 before mentioned, on which the arms 15 are mounted, is formed with a slot 30 which permits of a complementary movement of the bars 15 for adjustment and it is provided with a rearwardly projecting j tailpiece- 31 which projects across the crosspiece 12, a spring 32 being fixed to this crosspiece and bearing on the tailpiece in a direction to cause the bars 15 to enter between the other bars 10. A pin 80 passes through this slot and is fixed at its opposite ends in, the side elements l0. Projecting rearwardly from the crosspiece 12 midway between the sides of the. device.. is a stem 34 on which va collar 35 is slidahly mounted, this collar having at one side thereof a pair of projecting arms 36 which engage on opposite sides of the tailpieee 31. and have fixed thereto a pin 37 which passes through a longitudinal slot 38 in the said tailpiece. Threaded into the collar 35 is a screw 10 which is adapted to bear against the stem 34: to lock the collar thereto in selected positions. The rear portion of the tailpiece 31, it will be noted, is bent at a` more acute angle to the bars 15, than the forward portion thereof, the slot 38 extending through both portions. The parts are so arranged that when the collar 35 is positioned on the stem 84 close to the crosspiece 12 the engagement of the pin 37 in the slot 38 in the taill piece 31 will hold the bars 15 diverging from the bars 10, while with the collar 35 at a point to bring the pin 37 at the apical point of the slot 38 the bars 15 will be in a position entered between the bars 107 and lll) parallel to the latter when the Icam 23 is adjusted to allow of the maximum entering movement of the bars l5. By moving'the collar 35 along the stein 34, 'further 'from the crosspiece l2, the hub 16 will be lifted slightly, the spring 32 being compressed. A number of marks i5 are formed on the stem which correspond to the marks 26 on the side bar 10, and by adjusting the collar 35 to the proper one of these marks the bars 15A will be caused to assume a parallel relation to the bars l() irrespective of the distance that they are entered between the latter.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:

l. A device of the class described comprising a number of bars united at one end by a crosspiece, a second set-of bars adapted to ytit between the bars of the. first set, a hub on which said second set of bars are mounted, said hub being formed with a slot extending transversely to the bars, a pin extending through said slot and lined in the side ones of the first set of bars, a tailpiece projecting from said hub and formed with a' longitudinal slot, a stem projecting from a second crosspiece connecting the Vside ones of the iirst set of bars, acollar adjustable along said stem, and arms projecting from said collar and adapted to engage said tailpiece and adjust the second set of bars by movement of said collar along said stem.

2. A device of the class described comprising a number of bars united at one end by a crosspiece, a second set ot bars adapted to tit between the bars ot the [irst set, a hub on which said second set of bars are mounted, said hub being formed with a slot extending transversely to the bars, a pin extending through said slot and fixed in the side ones of the iirst. set of bars, a tailpiece project-ing from said hub and formed with a longitudinal slot, astem projecting from a second crosspiece connecting the side ones of the first set of bars, a` collar adjustable along said stein, and arms projecting from said collar and adapt-ed to engage said tailpiecc and adjustthe second set oit bars by movement o't said collar along said stem, and a spring bearing on said tailpiece and acting to press the second set of bars between the. iirst set.

3. A hair waver comprising a pair Aof elements hinged to one another, and each having a number of parallel bars, the bars ot one element being adapted to enter between those of the other element, and adjusting means for Varying the amount to which the iirst named bars may enter between the others, said means including a cam, and a finger fixed to said cam pivoted to and between two of the bars of one element at a distance from the point of hinge connection to one another.

In testimony whereof I have a'tiixed my signature.
